"How to be a baby by me the big sister" by Sally someone.

Dd (now 4 - was 3 when the monkey arrived) loves it.

My son loved "There's a house inside my Mummy". He was under 2 when I was pregnant but I think older children might also like it.

Zsa zsa's baby brother was great for my 3.5 year old.

Not specifically about being a big sister but Topsy and Tim The New Baby is great. Not at all cheesy like some of the rubbish we were gifted and touches on things like breastfeeding without ramming it down their throats. My 2 year old loved it.

"dogs don't eat jam" is very sweet and funny. My dD likes it a lot and she is 3.

Osborne does a lovely one, called "The New Baby" I think. DS is here 2 years and DD still loves it! It also shoes Mum bf the new baby which might be helpful if you're planning that.

I also like there's a house in mummy's tummy. It is a boy with a baby brother but I just read it with substitution.

Sophie And The New Baby is lovely. Very sensitive to how the older child can feel pushed out and ignored when there is a new baby, without being mawkish or overly sentimental.

Zaza's Baby Brother reduced me to a hormonal puddle, but I think that's just me.

We used the board book 'my new baby' for ds and he wanted to look at it and read it both before and after his sister was born. It's gender ambiguous so can be tailored to what you need. And showed breastfeeding which was helpful.
